Swan Lake, among the most beloved ballets of all time, comes to The Classic Center on March 3, in an original new production. The one-night-only performance is part of an ongoing 2023-2024 U.S. tour for the World Ballet Series.
Brought to life by a multinational ensemble of 50 dancers, Swan Lake features vivid handpainted sets, detailed hand-crafted costumes, rich storytelling, and Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable music.
The production features the original choreography of Marius Petipa, retouched by Nadezhda Kalinina. Scenic and costume designer Sergey Novikov sets the scene, with special effects and makeup designed by Irina Strukova.
